STONES
04:16:00Good day people! If you have been having a great day, I'm so happy for you. If your day has been not-so-good, I have faith that things are going on a change before the day is over. Believe with me. Anyway...
I remember a story in the Bible ( as I always do) that has been playing in my mind for a while now. Jesus was riding on a donkey into Jerusalem and of course, the people were praising God. The people were praising God, or rather the work of God in Jesus' life.
Go figure. God was being praised. Haters were hating. The church leaders at that time were quieting the people. They looked at Jesus, looking suave on a donkey and asked him, "Bros, tell these people to calm down. Wetin be their own sef?" (WLT; Warri Living Translation)
Jesus replied; and this was a famous quote."If these people do not praise me, I will raise up STONES to praise me". Basically, Jesus is saying,"If men choose to hold back praise from me, no problem. I'll raise up praise from weird places". That scares me. Let me explain.
We are meant to live a life of praise to the Most High. I'm talking in all ramifications. Our lives are meant to be symbols of the glorious work of God in and around every aspect of our lives. God wants to shine His glory through us. He wants His blessings in our lives to be so evident that men would give him glory. Basically, God wan use you shine!
But guess what? People refuse to be spoilt by the Most High. We refuse to be made mega fufilled, or mega healthy or mega mega (lol) by the Lord. For one reason or the other, we choose the basic life daily without once asking,"Lord, how can I praise you today? What do you want me for in life? Why was I created? What is my mission on earth?"
The beauty of stones is that they have no self will. They have no mind of their own. Stones are very easy for God to work on. So, stop living your life for your self, for your glory or well being. That has already been covered by God. Its time to let go of the little things in life and tell God,"I don't care what the world is after. My life is yours. Use it as you please". You know what God does to stones. He raises them up.
God is looking for stones ready to live a life of total praise to Him. You are going to be the one that God uses to confuse the whole world. While the world refuses to please God, you gonna get the blessings in excess.God is searching for stones. Are you willing?
Where the stones at?!

ReplyDeleteWe're basically raised dust. Raised stones would definitely do the job better than us, therefore we gotta live a life of praise before the stone guys fall our hands. #dust_guys
ReplyDeleteI'll pick stones over dust any day.
ReplyDeleteThen why did God pick dust instead?
